Super Bowl Recap: Equities Edition
The Giants and Patriots didn’t disappoint on Sunday during Super Bowl XLVI , giving the second thrilling, down-to-the-wire game in four years. It has long been said that football is a microcosm of life. So for the observant investor, it wouldn’t be surprising at all to see some of the biggest storylines that affected both Wall Street and the economy to play out on the sports biggest stage. And even if there wasn’t a direct connection, it sure would add more enjoyment to the game’s replay value if there was. Heck, even Clint Eastwood made a comparison. Without further ado, here’s a recap of the action with an eye for equities.
Early Gaffe Puts Pats BehindThe only other time the first scoring play of the Super Bowl was a safety was when a fumbled hand-off in Super Bowl IX forced legendary Vikings quarterback Fran Tarkenton to jump on a ball in his own end zone.

That intentional grounding was not unlike the bankruptcy of AMR Corp. ( AMR ) , the parent company that owns American Airlines, which had to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Nov. 29th of last year. American Airlines was already down almost 80 percent on the year, with excessive labor costs and the rising price of fuel hitting the airline hard. However, the share price has doubled since the sell-off surrounding the bankruptcy amid beliefs that American could become profitable after trimming costs and renegotiating labor contracts as well as rumors that US Airways ( LCC ) could be interested in purchasing American.
